Purrrrrr.

No ordinary kitty . . .


A cougar was responsible for killing 5 goats on our property the other night. Traps were set, a dead goat was used for "bait" and this 115 lb male came inquiring . . . apparently they run in groups of two, so they are hoping to catch it's partner tonight. Not an animal you'd like to cross paths with -

UPDATE: the second night, another cougar was trapped and killed. They believed that the 2 were siblings and were hoping that they might catch the "mother" on the third night, but no such luck.


WARNING: if we are lucky enough to have you as an overnight guest, don't head out for a midnight stroll.

Yikes! Those cougars have been having quite the feast on goats in the area! Good luck getting the other one.
